You know it doesn't matter if it does or not if truth be told. I think this journey has taught me alot about surrender and learning to walk in the Spirit. All I know is I no longer feel it is do or die to get accepted into a community, no our Beloved King has purified many of my desires in that department.

Cheers,

Check that out. Thats the mother house of a group of brilliant Benedictine Contemplatives who accept late vocations.

I have a problem with the Church today talking about a lack of vocations when I have spent the last 5 years contacting various communities only to be told I am too old.
I know I am not the only one who feels this way, so let's talk. Coincidentally I kept searching and found a community that I will be visiting in August. DON'T GIVE UP !

Dear Super Alien,

I agree with you. Too many religious orders also discriminate because of disability.
